O'Connors Law
The more a reporter shoves their nose into a story, the more likely they are to swallow any stupid lie that comes their way, no matter how much it stinks.
A reporter chased a rumor about a mayor’s dog stealing donuts and ended up believing the dog was a spy.
A journalist got obsessed with a missing sock and claimed the laundry machine was a portal to another dimension.
A reporter dug up dirt on a pizza chef and believed the chef was plotting world domination with cheese.
